team and holds a series of meetings over a few days every year to gauge the status of things at the lab. This includes parallel sessions within seven distinct areas that are open to all members that fall under that area. At the end of each parallel session,
15 minutes have been set aside for grads and post-docs to meet with the ACOT members of their respective area.</span></div>
